About
Hermann Haskamp is a leading researcher in industrial automation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), with a focus on bridging legacy systems with modern Industry 4.0 architectures. His work centers on retrofitting existing production environments—particularly those reliant on proprietary Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)—to enable cloud-based connectivity and interoperability. In his most-cited paper (29 citations), Haskamp introduced an innovative architecture that integrates OPC UA interfaces with legacy PLCs via the Azure cloud, enhanced by a retrofitted RFID system. This contribution directly addresses a critical industry challenge: the costly and complex integration of older, closed-loop control systems into open, data-driven smart manufacturing ecosystems. By demonstrating how to achieve Industrie 4.0 compliance without replacing entire infrastructures, his research offers practical, scalable solutions for digital transformation in manufacturing. Haskamp’s work is highly valued by both academics and practitioners seeking cost-effective pathways to industrial modernization, and his findings continue to inform the design of interoperable cyber-physical systems in the age of the Industrial Internet.
